It's tied at 1-1 isn't it? The Astros are nominally my baseball team as my friend and I adopted them as our team when we first visited the US many years ago. I'm not a big baseball fan though, American Football is more my American sport of choice.

lol yeah your right, i went to bed before the game ended and read some texts from my brother implying they lost lol

Dang it went out to 11 innings, shoulda stayed and finished watching it

hah yeah its the running around the bases sport. and they can go on forever if its a tie game, think the longest ever game went about 20+ innings and they are supposed to only go 9. ill admit they can be kinda boring to watch but with beer they get better

Stros are up 3-2 in the world series!! All they need is one win outta the last two match ups and will Houstons first world series victory! Was just in Houston over the weekend and signs all over the place supporting the team. Hope they can pull a W! Pretty sure last two games are at dodgers hometown so gonna be going against the current

Baseball is a funny one. I worked in LA for a few months, and it became kinda a thing for us to go and watch the Dodgers play whenever we could. I wasn't really fussed about the sport, but loved the atmosphere of thousands upon thousands of American families out enjoying themselves, the interaction with various things that happened during the game, it had a really nice party atmosphere.

It compared very favourably with the much less pleasant atmosphere at an English football match!

Oh, sure, all it takes is one fan trying to assault a player using his own child as a weapon and you say football fans are animals:
